Speaker cable Cabletech CCA 6.0mm — 6.0 mm conductor diameter, CCA construction

Cabletech CCA 6.0mm speaker cable is a two-conductor audio cable with a 6.0 mm conductor diameter and copper-clad aluminum (CCA) construction. It is intended for connecting loudspeakers to amplifiers, AV receivers, or multi-channel systems in home and commercial audio setups. The cable is designed for fixed indoor routing and speaker runs where a cost-effective conductive path is required, offering a balance between electrical conductivity and reduced weight compared with solid copper conductors.

Advantages

The CCA construction combines an aluminum core with a copper cladding to provide improved conductivity over plain aluminum while keeping material costs and overall cable weight lower than pure copper alternatives. The 6.0 mm conductor diameter supports standard speaker power delivery for typical domestic and commercial audio systems. The two-conductor layout simplifies polarity identification and installation for stereo or multi-channel speaker configurations. The cable's flexibility and diameter make it suitable for routed runs through walls, ceilings, or along skirting where indoor fixed wiring is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting bookshelf or floorstanding speakers to amplifiers and AV receivers
• Fixed indoor speaker runs in residential rooms and small commercial spaces
• Stereo systems and multi-channel home theatre installations
• Installations where reduced weight and cost are priorities compared with pure copper cable

Key specifications

• Conductor type: copper-clad aluminum (CCA)
• Conductor diameter: 6.0 mm
• Number of conductors: 2 (positive and negative)
• Intended use: indoor fixed speaker wiring and audio connections
• Cable configuration: parallel two-core speaker cable

How to use

Strip appropriate lengths of insulation from each conductor, taking care not to nick the conductor material. Observe correct polarity when connecting to amplifier and speaker terminals—match the positive (+) conductor to the amplifier's positive terminal and the negative (−) conductor to the corresponding speaker terminal. For bare-wire connections, twist the conductor strands and insert securely under binding posts or spring clips. For banana plugs or spade terminals, terminate the conductors with compatible connectors before attaching to equipment. Route the cable along planned paths, avoiding sharp bends and sources of electromagnetic interference, and secure with cable clips or trunking suitable for indoor installations.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs as short as practical to minimize signal loss and ensure secure, corrosion-free terminations. In high-power or long-distance speaker runs where lower resistance is required, consider using a heavier gauge pure copper cable. Store and handle the cable to prevent repeated bending at the same point, which can weaken the conductor over time.
